Confirmed from Keene Creek Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring a creek, trails (including for hiking, skiing and dog-walking), plus a baseball field.
What runners say about Keene Creek Park
“The creek is beautiful and there's a baseball field too.”
“Very quiet as it's tucked back at the end of a short road.”
“Dogs loved it, absolutely beautiful.”
Had a little time while visiting Duluth so found this park for a walk. Nothing exciting but quiet and not busy.
This Keene Creek park has biking, hiking, and cross country ski trails and is located in Hermantown. Not to be confused with the Keene Creek Park in Duluth at 63rd ave W which is an urban green space with dog park, skate park and playground.
A really great park! Great trails that are easy to walk on, and hard to get lost.
nice walking areas. not really much of a park park though. but, I knew that going and really enjoyed the walking trails. Being close to this area, it's nice to know where a few trails I'd wondered where they went are attached to these trails. good for walking though really only.
